Numerous days later, Mo Wuji came to a halt near the Great Desolate Sea Domain after following Jiao Chang's lead.
”My master disappeared here and no matter what methods I used, I wasn't able find any clues of my master's whereabouts,” Jiao Chang pointed to the piece of vast sea in front of him as he said worryingly.
Mo Wuji fell silent at this familiar scene. Previously, he and Han Long met husband and wife Wu Ben here at the Great Desolate Sea Domain. When he was about to kill Gou Wuyu, Kuang Benhou shared a secret in exchange for Gou Wuyu's life and that secret was the untold path to leave the Immortal World.
This untold path was right here within the Great Desolate Sea Domain and it was not very far from his current location. Now that Zhuo Pingan had disappeared here, it could be that he used that path to leave the Immortal World.
In fact, even Mo Wuji had made plans to escape using this path if he had offended too many experts.
However, Mo Wuji had too many matters in the Immortal World which he had yet to settle and too many concerns which was why he couldn't leave just like that.
Zhuo Pingan was his friend so if it was possible, he would be willing to exhaust a large amount of energy to rescue him. The only problem was that now, he needed to leave the Immortal World to an unknown place to rescue Zhuo Pingan without the guarantee that he could return. Mo Wuji simply wasn't able to do this because he had yet to meet Cen Shuyin again and he still had no news of Yan'Er so how could he just leave the Immortal World like that?
”Immortal Friend Jiao, I am well aware of this place. If we go further in from here, even I am not strong enough to survive now. Only when I further advanced into the next realm will I be able to search for Brother Zhuo,” Mo Wuji explained honestly.
Despite not pointing out that this was the path to leave the Immortal World, he told Jiao Chang tactfully that he was unable to help now.
Jiao Chang's eyes turned dark because he was just trying his luck when he decided to look for Mo Wuji. The truth was that he didn't believe Mo Wuji would actually be able to rescue his master and had just done his best to maintain that glimmer of hope.
Mo Wuji's words were right because further down would be the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Within the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain were the existence of peak grade immortal beasts and if one was not careful, one could be trapped by multiple immortal beasts. What he didn't know was that Mo Wuji wasn't talking about the beasts but the path to leave the Immortal World.
”Many thanks Sect Head,” Even if he knew that Mo Wuji was unable to help, Jiao Chang was still thankful that Mo Wuji made this trip.
”If Immortal Friend Jiao doesn't mind, you can cultivate at my Ping Fan,” Mo Wuji was still feeling slightly apologetic because he would come back here one day but just not now.
Jiao Chang clasped his fists once more, ”Many thanks Sect Head Mo but I am intending to wander around the Immortal World first and perhaps there would come a day where I have nowhere else to go. If that day really comes, I might seek shelter from Sect Head Mo again.”
Jiao Chang indirectly rejected Ping Fan's invitation as he left immediately after bidding goodbye to Mo Wuji.
…
Six days later, Mo Wuji returned to Ping Fan Immortal School. After handing the Red Karmic Fire Lotus back to Dou Hualong, he immediately called Wei Zidao and Su Zi'An over.
He didn't spend much time trying to find Zhuo Pingan because if Zhuo Pingan really left the Immortal World, continue finding him would simply be a waste of time.
”Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan are not out yet?” The first thing Mo Wuji asked was about the two other Immortal Emperors when he saw Wei Zidao and Su Zi'An walking over.
Wei Zidao had been patiently waiting for Mo Wuji to return and if it wasn't because Mo Wuji had matters to settle first, he would have went over to finish the Great Sword Path alone. Back then, the Great Sword Path killed his dao companion, snatched his dao venue and even threw him into the Sword Prison. He would never forget his deep enmity with the Great Sword Path.
”Mingcheng came out and was now in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage while Nie Chongan still requires a little while more,” Wei Zidao replied swiftly.
While Wei Zidao was speaking, Jian Mingcheng, Lu Ming and Fei Ling walked hurriedly into the meeting hall together with the newly joined Wen Hou. Jian Mingcheng's energy was exuding vibrantly as he had indeed stepped into the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage.
”Great, Right Defender Wei, Mingcheng, Elder Cha Rui, Fei Ling and Lu Ming shall follow me to the Great Sword Path. Matters of Ping Fan shall be handed to Zi'An,” Mo Wuji knew that their schedule was slightly tight so he decided to finish off the Great Sword Path now.
Su Zi'An stood up instantly, ”Sect Head, I am fine with not being involved in anything else but the Great Sword Path exterminated my Tian Ji Sect so I will always have a bump in my heart if I don't go.”
Mo Wuji knew that Su Zi'An had been brooding over the Great Sword Path exterminating Tian Ji Sect and now that Ping Fan had emerged abruptly, he wouldn't want to miss the chance to obliterate the Great Sword Path.
Mo Wuji's eyes fell on Fei Ling and before Mo Wuji could speak, Fei Ling took the initiative and said, ”Sect Head, I have to be involved in the oblireratation of the Great Sword Path. If I don't avenge myself, I will always have a shadow in my heart just like Senior Brother Su.”
”Since this was the case, Ping Fan shall be temporary left under the charge of Wen Hou. After we obliterate the Great Sword Path, Zi'An would take over from Wen Hou,” This was Mo Wuji's only option left.
”Yes, I, Wen Hou, would definitely not let anything happen to the immortal school,” Wen Hou acknowledged his responsibility respectfully.
Having been at Ping Fan for merely ten days, Wen Hou's heart was in a perilous situation. When he first entered Ping Fan, he was only amazed at the boundless field of immortal herbs, great density of immortal energy, immortals here and how mortals were treated equally here.
